Superstar Jennifer Lopez to Headline Entertainment
at Closing Ceremonies of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup

Los Angeles  Jennifer Lopez, the chart-topping singer
and multi-talented actress, will perform live on July 10 during
the Closing Ceremonies of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup at the
Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. To accommodate the expanded Closing
Ceremonies, the start of the Third Place Match has been moved
back 15 minutes to 10:15 a.m. PDT. The Final will remain at 12:50
p.m.

The singer's debut single "If You Had My Love"
made history last week by claiming the No. 1 slot simultaneously
on the Hot 100, Hot 100 Single Sales, and R&B Singles sales
charts. In addition, "If You Had My Love" became
only the second song in Hot 100 Singles history to be both No.
1 and the greatest gainer in both sales and airplay. The song's
video has been among the top five in airplay on MTV since May
17, and Lopez's first Latin single, her duet with Marc Anthony,
"No Me Ames," soared to No. 1 on last week's
Hot Latin Tracks chart.

The high-energy Closing Ceremonies celebration will take place
at 12:30 p.m. PDT, following the Third Place Match. The Closing
Ceremonies and Final will mark the end of the largest women's-only
sporting event in history, which yesterday announced that it has
surpassed 560,000 in tickets sales and had an average of more
than 32,900 fans per First Round date. The July 10th Third Place/Final
has already sold more than 55,000 tickets. The Final will be televised
live on ABC with the Third Place match on ESPN.

"The Women's World Cup will conclude with an exciting
Closing Ceremonies featuring one of the hottest female stars today,"
said Messing. "Jennifer Lopez exemplifies the spirit of the
women's World Cup, and we are thrilled to have her be a part of
this history-making event."
